The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A 4 piece pack asks a simple question: does the per-lure cost and the track record behind the product justify buying a smaller count than some alternatives offer. The Berkley GSG6-PSH is a Gulp! Saltwater Grub in Pink Shine, a 6 inch blend soft lure sold 4 to a pack and listed for general Fish targets, priced at $7.64.
That price sits above the Berkley EBPHWR and GMG-NAT at $5.99 each and the GMI2-WMPR at $6.79, all soft lures in the same comparison set. But the GSG6-PSH carries a 4.6-star average across 1,600 reviews, which ties the GMI2-WMPR's 4.6-star rating while resting on more than eight times as many reviews, and it beats both the EBPHWR at 4.4 stars and the GMG-NAT at 4.2 stars outright.
Bought last month sits at 600+, ahead of the EBPHWR's 500+, the GMG-NAT's 400+, and the GMI2-WMPR's 300+, making it the strongest recent-demand figure among the four soft lures compared here. For anglers who want a 6 inch saltwater grub profile with a rating and purchase pattern that holds up against the rest of the field, the GSG6-PSH is priced higher but backed by the numbers to support it.
Pros
- 4.6-star average across 1,600 reviews, tying the top rating in this comparison with far more review volume
- 600+ bought last month, the highest recent-purchase figure among the four soft lures compared
- 6 inch size targets a larger presentation than the 2 1/2 inch and 1.5 ounce alternatives listed here
- Gulp! Saltwater Grub formula in Pink Shine gives a specific, named color and bait style
- Sold in a 4 piece pack, keeping a small rotation of backup baits on hand
Cons
- Priced at $7.64, higher than all three Berkley comparison lures at $5.99 to $6.79
- Only 4 pieces per pack, fewer units than a angler working through heavy cover may want
- Listed for a general Fish target species rather than a named species like trout or bass
- Single color option, Pink Shine, with no stated alternate patterns in this listing

Performance notes
At 6 inches, this grub is sized up from the 2 1/2 inch and 1.5 ounce profiles of the smaller Berkley alternatives in this comparison, which points toward use on larger structure or bigger target fish within the general Fish category listed. The Gulp! formula and Saltwater Grub naming suggest a scent-infused soft plastic built for saltwater conditions rather than a freshwater-specific bait. A 4 piece pack count is modest, so anglers fishing heavy cover or losing baits to structure regularly may go through the pack faster than the 24 piece or multi-unit packs seen elsewhere in the soft lure lineup. The Pink Shine color is a single stated option, with no alternate colors listed for this specific SKU, so buyers wanting a different pattern would need to look at a different listing in the Gulp! Saltwater Grub line.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average across 1,600 reviews puts this lure on equal footing with the GMI2-WMPR's rating, but the review count here is more than eight times larger, which generally makes a rating more reliable as a signal. It also outpaces the EBPHWR's 4.4 stars and the GMG-NAT's 4.2 stars, both resting on their own sizable review bases. The 600+ bought last month figure is the highest among the four soft lures in this comparison, ahead of the 500+, 400+, and 300+ figures posted by the Berkley alternatives, suggesting steady and comparatively strong recent demand for this specific grub.

Frequently asked questions
How many lures come in the Berkley GSG6-PSH pack?
The listing specifies 4 pieces per pack. That is fewer units than some other soft lure packs in this comparison, such as the 24 piece Berkley GSSW2-C, so anglers fishing through a lot of cover may want to factor the smaller count into their per-trip planning.
What species is this Gulp! Saltwater Grub built for?
The listing specifies a general Fish target species rather than one named species. Combined with the Saltwater Grub naming and Gulp! formula, it points toward broad saltwater use rather than a species-specific freshwater application like trout or panfish specifically, unlike some of the more narrowly targeted alternatives compared here.
Is the 4.6-star rating reliable given the price?
It rests on 1,600 reviews, more than eight times the review count behind the GMI2-WMPR's matching 4.6-star average, which makes it a comparatively well-supported rating even though the per-pack price is higher than the three Berkley alternatives listed alongside it.
